Cheese paper is a multi-ply paper designed to allow your cheese to breathe while also preserving its moisture.

The wrap job here is very important in order for cheese paper to function properly. If the cheese paper is wrapped too loosely, the multi-ply system is ineffective causing the cheese to dry out from exposure to the harsh refrigerator air.

Organic fabrics are coated with bees wax, jojoba oil, and tree resin. The jojoba oil contains a natural and gentle anti-microbial property to keep food fresher. The bees wax helps cultivate an interior environment that retains moisture while allowing the cloth to breathe, and the tree resin fortifies the cloth so that you can re-use the cloth for months at a time.

Again, it is important here to wrap cheese entirely in order to get the best result.

Our Cheese Grotto collection is a one-time investment that is designed specifically to keep all varieties of cheese fresh (keep storing your mozzarella and feta in brine, however - that's the way they like it).

Not only does the Cheese Grotto eliminate the need for purchasing wrappers, it also opens up the possibility to store your cheese in the refrigerator in the Grotto or on the counter to be enjoyed like the French do over a 7 to 10 day time period.

The Cheese Grotto balances humidity, air flow, and breathability so that your cheese stays fresh for as long as possible. In a recent study with the Agropur Dairy Lab, dairy scientists discovered that the Cheese Grotto does in fact extend the shelf-life of cheese past professional cheese paper when stored in the refrigerator:

"The use of the Cheese Grotto chamber seems to have improved the conservation of the products significantly. The flavor of the cheese was consistent (less ammonia profile).

The results of the sensory panel show the same trend as the results obtained by the proteolysis analysis."
